  1. Brake fluid arrived today so spent ages draining and bleeding these bitches Seriously looking forward to having it back on the road now. Has been to long.
  2. I will be there mate! May be an idea to try and drop the stand to 10 bud. Have a chat with them, then hopefully only 2 to fill although there is usually a couple of no shows!!
  3. @VR6CABBS How are we looking for confirmed numbers on this one?
  4. Hello and welcome to the club. I think there is one for sale in our for sale section. However the 12v mk3 is better [emoji6][emoji6] Lol
  5. I get you mate! Yours is a ow miler with 50K requires hardly any work and is hardly ever driven! Yet with the wheels, brake upgrades, paintwork, US spec bumpers etc etc it becomes a money pit. A money pit through choice though. To the OP do the work mate you won't be sorry and you will fall in love. These are one of the easiest engines to work on and if you become a fully paid member at the bargain price it is you can download the workshop manual for the engine from this club along with tons of other extras! I did a head gasket on mine using that manual with NO mechanic experi
  6. Just finished reading through the thread. Great work chap, clearly got got plenty of skills. Have you had the car on a dyno? I have just bought the same charger from Bealyboy. If you get the chance to throw up a few more images of your MAF, Air Filter and pipework locations of the charger and maybe a video.. Great build and attention to detail. Off to have a look at the daily build now.

  9. A bit more work done this afternoon. Engine sounded proper funky on start up. Was nearly match in tank time. However she come good in the end. Fitted some Samco hoses that where on the donor car I bought and two window regulators sorted. So all I am waiting on is carpets and interior a wheel that's with the repairers and its MOT time I hope. More importantly detailing time as she is filthy and its hurting me to look at it in this state. Cheers for popping in! [emoji106]?
  10. Where do we pay for this one mate? On their website or through the club?
  11. Cheers chap! They have spent nearly 18 months in a drawer in my spare room! Thought its about time I fitted them hahaha
  12. Well popped to my garage to do a bit after work this evening. Got my new brakes fitted. 10mm spacers just don't cut it. Ordered some 11s. Need to get it back on the road soon [emoji23][emoji23]. Just wish weather would improve. Balanced all my wheels when fitting the new Yokies and one has a buckle from a pothole on our shitty road. Sent it off today to be repaired. Will send bill to the council. Laters!

  19. Well the chaps finished the floor today. From these scary things. To this welded sealed and painted. In car shot. Underneath Then finished off with some sound deadening. I can now put some damp core in then refit my professionally cleaned carpets and start rebuilding this wench! Brake pad fitting kit for Leon Cupra R brembos. £160 a pair on mainland UK. Or £100 a pair from Seat Belfast. Managed to find a used set on the rear of a maserati coupe. They run the same calipers on rear!! Price for a couple of springs though is shocking!! Anyhow loads more to do before
  20. All this talk of Leeds lately and we are forgetting this show is the week before!! Whats the list like at the minute! Come on folks get those names down!
